RUSSIAN, EURASIAN, AND EAST EUROPEAN STUDIES (REEES)

The Russian, Eurasian, and East European Studies (REEES) Cluster is a multidisciplinary hub for graduate students from across Northwestern with a shared interest in the vast region between Prague and Vladivostok. Founded with the goal of promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, REEES aims to bring together students and faculty in a wide array of departments and programs, including Anthropology, Art History, History, International Studies, Journalism, Political Science, Managerial Economics, Musicology, Slavic Languages and Literature, Sociology, and Theatre.

 

The REEES Cluster offers a range of opportunities for graduate students as well as faculty. The Cluster provides venues for graduate students to present their research and to engage faculty and students beyond their home departments. It fosters student-directed programming and funds student projects including research travel, language study, and study abroad.

 

The REEES Cluster’s certificate program allows students from a range of departments to tap into NU’s international reputation in Slavic, Eurasian, and East European studies. The program's requirements can be completed with coursework in a wide array of departments and programs (see the [[course requirements page link]] for specific courses and procedures). The range of courses available to satisfy the program's requirements reflects the REEES Cluster's commitment to serving as a platform for collaboration between the humanities and social sciences.
